Summary
After V agrees to enter into Mikoshi in 2077 in order to save her own life after being told that her condition is terminal despite the successful removal of Johnny Silverhand's engram, her future is in flux even as Takemura Goro finds his fate changed for the better at Arasaka in a surprising turn of events. No longer disgraced, Takemura has been placed in charge of the project to bring the thief back to life—mainly so that Arasaka Saburo can keep the bodyguard, whom he considers one of his most valuable people, in line and loyal, along with keeping V compliant as a potential asset. In 2079, Takemura's first meeting with V in many months turns emotionally fraught, and they both confront their long-suppressed feelings.
* NOTE: If you've seen previous iterations of this synopsis, well, it was about time to make it a little more sensible ten chapters in. :P And in keeping with the theme of missions being named after songs, the story title refers to the Bobby Darin song.

Summary
“I’m goin' back to Earth.” V's voice waivers, her false conviction about to fold like a damn card table. "Gonna go with the Aldecaldos."
His eyes do not leave the floor. V feels a tremor start in her hands – she shoves them into her pockets, sniffling as she stands.
Crybaby she might be, she’s never been one to give up.
“You could come with me.” She whispers, frightened that Saburo himself would hear her.
“I cannot.” His answer is just as soft, and no less broken.
V lets the tears fall as she smiles – realizing that after all they’ve been through, this is the end. “Goodbye Goro. It’s been an honor.”
-----
An alteration to the Devil ending. V returns to Earth to spend the rest of her days with the Aldecaldos and face her inevitable death. Takemura returns to Tokyo to resume his duty to Saburo Arasaka, only to be faced with accusations of sedition. Fate brings them together once more.

Summary
Leaving Night City behind, V embraces the nomadic lifestyle of the Aldecaldos while continuing her search for a cure that could extend her life expectancy from six short months. Takemura Goro has also left Night City behind, having chased V across the desert in an effort to take revenge for the death of Hanako Arasaka, who perished during the Nomad organized assault on Arasaka Tower.
When his plans for revenge fail, V and Takemura are left right where they once started. A dying thief and a disgraced soldier, with as much in common as they lack and an improbable bond that holds them to one another.

Summary
Takemura Goro has been outcast and shunned from Arasaka, being discarded after his use has run out. His friendship with V has all been destroyed after her betrayal leading to a full on attack on Arasaka Tower. The Relic has since been removed, leaving V lonely and grieving, having Johnny Silverhand ripped from her after bonding with him. Rather than seeking glory, she now seeks a cure and chose to live the rest of her short life in quiet, relative peace.
Takemura is now stranded in Night City, with no funds to his name, no way to head back to his home land, and not the slightest idea on what his next step in life is. Having no other options, he must now turn to his friend turned enemy for help. Despite their new, heavy animosity towards one another, V and Takemura partner up once again, as she teaches this old dog new tricks on how to survive in the streets of Night City, as well as showing him that his new found freedom is not as bad as he thinks it is.
